"You're such a pitiful god. No one even makes offerings to you?" Kaguya shook her head. This was the first time she had seen such a poor deity.
"So what if I'm poor?! One day, I'll prosper like I used to!"
"But staying alive is what matters right now!"
With that, the God of Marriage turned and walked over to Inari's offerings, taking more than half of the apples before her...
Inari received so many offerings every day. A few apples would not make any difference.

Kaguya and Fu Hua stared at the God of Marriage's actions, utterly speechless. How would Inari feel if she saw her so unceremoniously claiming her offerings for herself?
"Alright, I'm going back to find those two elders first. No one can break the threads of fate under my protection! Those two are destined to marry, and I said so!" As she spoke, the God of Marriage took a fierce bite out of the apple in her hand.
Lovers would eventually be united. Even if they couldn't, they had to be!
"You can barely protect yourself..."
Kaguya looked at the suddenly confident God of Marriage, unable to understand where her confidence came from. She was a minor deity with hardly any followers and no offerings, yet her tone was anything but modest.

"Mother, let's go with her and take a look!"
After thinking for a moment, Kaguya tugged on Fu Hua's hand.
